DRBC Power Grab Challenged at 3rd Circuit
A DRBC power grab, encouraged by radical fractivists and enabled by cowardly leadership, is challenged with a compelling appeal made to the 3rd Circuit.
The Delaware River Basin Commission has made a bid for control over every aspect of life in the watershed. This DRBC power grab is not going down without a fight, though, and it’s coming from aggrieved landowners who know exactly what is at stake. They have a very compelling argument. The matter is now before the 3rd Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals, where one hopes this out-of-control agency, responsible to no one, will finally be forced to operate within the actual authority granted it. If the justices bother to read the history of the DRBC and look at its record — all detailed in the appeal — there can be but one answer; the DRBC power grab itself will be history.
DRBC Power GrabI previously outlined the status of the DRBC lawsuit and why it was important in posts here and here. Readers will recall Scranton Federal District Court Judge Robert Mariani ruled against landowners in a very odd decision on his own motion. He did so without giving the parties any opportunity to argue his points. This was after using roughly 90% of his opinion to trash the DRBC power grab (or, more precisely, the way it has gone about it).
